Overview:
===============================================================================

This directory contains global fossil fuel and biofuel emissions of C2H6 for
2010 as described in Tzompa-Sosa et al. (2017). The 4x5 files are the same
as in directory v2017-05 but with unused lev dimension removed for
compatibility with the MAPL library used in GCHP. The 2x2.5 files are new in
this directory and were regridded from 4x5 using conservative regridding.

File List:
